Magnefast™ – Polymetallic metal mine
Magnefast trial achieved 6 MONTHS service life meeting the current liner objective. The Magnefast liners showed 7 mm of wear in a 50 mm thick ceramic so panels have not been replaced and are expected to eliminate a number of liner…
Elastotec Lagging – Hot Vulcanised Ceramic Lagging
A large bauxite mine in Australia, running an overland conveyor with an ST3600 belt, 1050mm wide, has successfully introduced Elastotec Hot Vulcanised Ceramic Pulley Lagging to one of its sites.
Pulley Lagging and Belt Interaction for Power Transmission and Service Life
Conveyor drives and drive pulleys are a key part of the conveyor system, providing the power transmission required to move material. Engineers rely on guidelines from the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) to design these drive systems effectively, employing mathematical techniques like Euler’s equation. However, while this approach focuses on preventing loss of traction, it overlooks potential wear and tear on critical components like the belt and pulley lagging. This paper aims to describe this issue, highlighting the need for a balanced approach that considers both loss of traction and localized slip which can result in wear and damage.
Operations/Engineering Manager – Wear Panels
Elastotec is seeking an operational leader to support its wear panel sales team in delivering all aspects of the ultimate customer experience. Elastotec has patented a magnetic wear panel system for the global mining industry. The product is quickly being adopted by many major companies and is growing quickly.
Large Gold Mine in Australia – increased service life of pulleys with Elastotec/PROK HVCL
One of the largest gold mines in Australia, located in southeast of Perth, produces around 750,000 ounces of gold annually and 80 million pounds of copper and has a workforce of 2,000 people. This mine has an expected life of 20 years.
Conveyor Belt Bottom Cover Failure From Idlers and Pulleys
Excessive wear on the belt bottom cover resulting from improper idler arrangement and ceramic pulley lagging can lead to early belt failure and unplanned downtime. This paper discusses several failure modes and related field examples.
Theoretical Model to Evaluate Belt Wear Effects on Lagging Stress
Overland Conveyor Company was contracted by Elastotec Pty Ltd to develop a theoretical model to study the effects of conveyor belt cover wear on pulley lagging as a part of their Research and Development studies.
